Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or issue:

    “Only one marriage I regret. I remember after I got that marriage license I went across from the license bureau to a bar for a drink. The bartender said, “What will you have, sir?” And I said, “A glass of hemlock.””
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “If the issue doesn’t matter a whole lot, just drop it. You don’t have to win every fight ... and you will not have lost any of your authority by giving in when it doesn’t matter very much.”
    —Lawrence Balter (20th century)
